Methodology Overview

Our analysts review content from medical journals, trade journals, audits, online databases, registries, and market investment reports weekly and summarize these data into our IPD reports. Full source citations are provided for each entry.

The IPD team scans thousands of medical journals using a sophisticated query system designed to identify epidemiology related articles. That content is then reviewed by our research team on a weekly basis to identify newly published content that fits the IPD's epidemiological scope.

In addition, our analysts monitor larger disease areas and therapeutic areas in which the data are hard to find. We also conduct ongoing special searches for subscribers requiring broader or more specialized searches.

Sample of Article Review Sources

Our ongoing journal tracking system several thousand unique journals. The list below is an example of the types of resources tracked by our IPD ingest process.

Journals

Our analysts review English-language medical journals that publish epidemiology-related data on an ongoing basis. Below is an abridged listing of journals we cover in specific therapeutic areas.
